Many years ago, when I was floating, awash in nondescript, boring photos as
pretty much a newbie, my mentor told me two things:

1.  If your pictures are not good enough, you're not close enough.  (He did
not claim this as original; attribution un-remembered)
So, as I was off to a weekend with friendsin the hills of Grey County, he
instructed that I take ONLY my Konica C-35V (38mm f2.8) and
2.  Make no pictures farther away than 5 ft.

It was magic.  One lens...  one perspective:  close.
